ALL South Yorkshire Police officers have been encouraged to fill in this year\u2019s Police Federation of England and Wales pay and morale survey.<\/p>\n
A link to the 15-minute questionnaire has been emailed to every officer in the hope of gauging a better overview of the service. Officers have until 18 May to complete the survey.<\/p>\n
Past surveys have helped the Federation fight for issues such as changes to maternity pay, holiday pay and the Away from Home Overnight Allowance.<\/p>\n
Zuleika Payne, Chair of South Yorkshire Police Federation, said: \u201cThis is an important survey for members to complete. The data that is captured is really crucial in forming an evidence base for negotiating and requesting pay rises, a change of conditions and other vital issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would encourage all colleagues to please take the time and complete this survey.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking as the survey was released, PFEW General Secretary Andy Fittes said: \u201cMembers, your opinion matters to us so please do have your say. This survey is the only annual police workforce survey to gather consistent data on officers\u2019 experiences across all 43 forces.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more members that complete this questionnaire, the more strength it will give us to keep people at the highest levels of policing informed of our members\u2019 point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n
